Answer:

2200.9lb

Explanation:

This is a conversion problem.

 We have been given that:

            Mass of rock the school needed  = 998140g

 

Unknown:

       Pound of rocks the park needed  = ?

To solve this problem, we have to convert from:

     grams to kilograms and then to pounds

            1000g of the rock will weigh 1kg

  So;       998140g of the rock will weight 998.14kg

Therefore:

               1kg of a substance weighs 2.205lb

           998.14g will weight2.205 x 998.14  = 2200.9lb
